Chapter 834 Void’s Second Domain
Grey was startled when the two-headed snake turned to his direction. Without being told, he knew the snake wanted to get serious with him now.
He hastily retreated, but the snake chased after him and sent out a powerful stream of flames that almost knocked Grey to the ground. Grey was in the Fusion State, but he had no choice than to use his Teacher"s talisman to help boost his speed so he could escape from the snake"s attack"s.
When Grey got a good distance away, in hopes of drawing the snake away, he was left disappointed when the snake quickly turned around and headed in Void"s direction. It was already a Rank Six Magical beast, so it was very smart. It quickly picked up what Grey wanted to do, so it played along and when Grey moved further away, it rushed in Void"s direction.
"This thing is too smart for my liking." Grey complained before rushing back to where Void was located. With his s.p.a.ce element and his Teacher"s talisman, he was a little bit faster than the snake.
Appearing in front of the snake, he attacked with his Fusion orbs, but it didn"t have any impact on the snake. The scales of the snake were stronger than Grey"s attacks.
The snake attacked Grey, but missed. Grey on the other hand continued attacking the snake, making sure it didn"t get to Void.
Once the snake decides to leave him since he was only using his Fusion orbs, he would bring out his Teacher"s talisman to attack.
The strength of a Sage Plane Elementalist would burst out from it, threatening the snake. The snake would instantly turn its attention to Grey once again.
Grey knew he was no match for the snake, so all he did was to repeat this process until Void broke through. He had to use his talismans sparingly since it wasn"t much.
Ten minutes later.
Grey"s figure was sent flying and he slammed into the wall of the volcano. There were presently too many holes like this around, and they were all made when Grey slammed into the wall. It couldn"t be helped, the snake was just too powerful for him. If not for his light element, he would"ve sustained too many injuries to even count. Even with the light element, he still had some injuries that hadn"t healed up yet.
"What"s holding Void up, shouldn"t he be done by now?" Grey was on his last foot.
He just used up his last attack talisman, and he was getting beat up by the snake. For some reason the snake attacked more aggressively, Grey guessed it had something to do with not sensing the essence any longer. This meant that Void had already a.s.similated with it. Even if the snake killed him now, it still wouldn"t be able to get it.
Grey was sent in different directions as the snake attacked, and as he tried to escape, he was sent crashing down.
"Oh s.h.i.t!" He exclaimed in his head as he saw the direction he was headed.
He hastily opened a teleportation tunnel that made him appear on the side. He slammed into the ground, where the snake was previously resting on.
If not for this tunnel, he would"ve crashed into the lava, and although he had the fire element, he would still be in danger from freezing. This fire didn"t burn, rather, it froze anything close to it. Standing so close to it, Grey started to shiver from the intense cold.
His eyes glowed even brighter and the lotus which had been dormant all this while suddenly started spinning.
"What the h.e.l.l!" Grey blurted out uncontrollably.
The snake rushed down when it saw this, from how it tried to get to Grey frantically, Grey was certain it was panicking.
"Void…"
Grey called out as he tried escaping from the snake which was coming down.
The snake appeared on the ground within some seconds, before Grey could even open up a s.p.a.ce tunnel, it swung its ma.s.sive tail at him, sending him flying away from the lotus.
Grey crashed into the ground, almost getting into the lava. Luckily, he stopped only a few feets away from it.
The snake didn"t stop its attack, it rushed after him, attacking brutally.
Grey managed to finally get some distance between himself and the snake. However, the glow in his eyes intensified and the lotus started spinning faster.
He knew he had to leave here quickly, or else the snake would try to kill him. The glow from his eyes resonated with the glow the lotus started giving off, alarming the snake.
"If that crazy cat doesn"t come down soon I"ll kill him!" Grey complained as he ran from the snake.
He could feel a sort of closeness with the lotus, but he didn"t even dare to look in that direction now. The thought of acquiring the lotus did not even cross his mind at the moment, surviving was his only goal.
Initially, he thought Void would be done with his breakthrough soon, but things aren"t going as expected.
The snake soon caught up with him, and sent him flying once again.
All the talismans he got from his Teacher were used up, so he had to deal with running on his own. There was no way an Overlord Plane Elementalist would be able to outrun a Sage Plane Elementalist.
Grey"s body was about to slam into the wall by the side when he felt a soft paw on his back.
"Great! You"re here, deal with it."
Grey didn"t need to turn before knowing it was Void, he hastily ran in another direction, rushing back to the cave they made at the top of the volcano. He was bleeding all round, and he was certain the internal injuries he sustained were more than what his current mastery of the light element could deal with. His only hope of a quick recovery now was the healing tonic they got from the blooming viper, and even that was almost used up as well.
Void stood around three meters tall, with an odd look on his face. He wanted to show off his new appearance to Grey, but Grey didn"t even give him a glance.
He currently had a golden fur around his neck, making him look majestic. The fur was around the same length as his normal fur.
"Did the beating affect his head?" Void muttered before staring at the two-headed snake.
The snake was still an Early stage Rank Six Magical beast, just like Void.
Void looked at the snake with a demeaning look, it was as if he was looking at an inferior beast.
"Leave now and you"ll live." He said offhandedly.
The snake looked at him and snarkled. It looked at Void like it was staring at a moron. It knew Void"s bloodline was superior to its, but it also knew that Void broke through only a few minutes ago, he wouldn"t even be accustomed to his new strength yet, much less being able to fight against it.
"You made a wrong choice. I wonder what you would taste like." Void said c.o.c.kily as he charged at the snake.
Inside the cave.
Grey quickly took out the healing tonic and gulped it down. He was going through a lot of pains, and his body was bruised all over. When he stepped into the cave, the three horned men were seated in a meditating position, clearly they had benefited from watching Void"s breakthrough.
This was the first time they were watching anyone break through to the Sage Plane, so it was bound to be beneficial for them. Grey didn"t bother with them since he had to worry about his health.
He had red marks all over his body from the times the snake"s tail hit him, and his clothes were completely ruined. At this point, he was even sure more than fifty percent of his ribs were broken.
After he gulped down the tonic, he focused on healing himself. However, his eyes continued giving off the pale blue glow.
Back in the volcano.
The snake was running for its life. In the s.p.a.ce of only a few seconds, Void already showed that they were not on equal footing.
The snake was currently stuck in what seemed to be a sea of darkness. This was Void"s second domain, the domain of darkness.
He used a special darkness treasure to break through, so while he was still getting used to the darkness essence from the treasure, he got an insight while he was a.s.similating with the essence.
If people heard of a newly ascended Rank Six Magical beast already having two domains, they would probably go crazy. However, it can"t be helped, Void had the fabled black elemental grade for all his elements, so this was totally natural for him.
The snake spat out streams of fire, trying to break away from Void"s clutches.
"I told you to leave the first time, you mocked me. Now, I want to cook you and eat you, be a good snake and let me kill you, okay?" Void said with an evil laugh.
The snake panicked when it heard this and hastily increased the intensity of its flames, it didn"t even mind about its health any longer and started to burn its life essence to increase its strength.
"It"s futile, against me, all your efforts are worthless. I"ll show you what it means to be a great Magical beast." Void commented and waved his paws.
After waving his paws, he went back to his previous small state. The snake fell to the ground, dead.
If it was told from the start that Void would be able to kill it, it would never have believed it.
